Breathe (Colorado Mountain #4) by Kristen Ashley

There's nothing like the first time . . .

In Carnal, Colorado, Faye Goodknight is the town's quiet, shy librarian. She may also be Carnal's last remaining virgin. For years, Faye has had a crush on Chace Keaton, but the gorgeous cop has always been unattainable. She's resigned to live contentedly with only her books for company-until Faye suddenly meets Chace alone in the woods . . .

Chace doesn't think he's the good guy everyone believes him to be. He's made a lot of choices he regrets, including denying his feelings for Faye. Through his choices, he's come to believe the pretty librarian is too good for him, but after their time in the woods, Chace realizes that she may be his last chance for redemption. Soon, their long simmering desires grow to a burning passion. Yet always casting a shadow over their happiness is Chace's dark past . . .

5 out of 5 starsSimply amazing. Beautiful story. I was pulled in from the start and felt it all.

Excellent writing, flow, and development. Rich, detailed characters full of depth. All of it, from beginning to end was so great. Passion, emotion, drama, bits of humor, lots of hotness... it was just this well thought out story and I was completely lost to it.

I adored Faye. I loved her. Her unyielding strength and care for others. That unconditional love that just made your heart feel full. I think Chase might be one of my favorite Kristen Ashley heroes. His sweetness wrapped up in protectiveness was amazing. I loved their story of coming together, their battling of demons and growth. It was sweet, funny, heart felt, and intense.. and super hot!

There was a great cast of characters from other stories involved and I loved how they were connected. I thoughts they were integrated well. All the different players really helped round everything out.

There was another story connected to what was happening between Faye and Chase and it was wonderful to read. I thought it had a very powerful message and found it really touching. Love how it all played out!

Solid beginning, middle, and end. The epilogue was perfect. I cried. I cried several times actually. I was so pulled in, feeling the relationships and hardships, the drama, I can't help but be emotional invested. I had a ton of questions, things that carried over from other books and I was thrilled to get closure.

Kristen Ashley is a favorite of mine. I have never been disappointed, ever. I know what I'm going to get and its always spot in. Excellent story, development, and characters that I can get lost in. She always makes me feel something and I am always hooked. I cannot say enough good things.
